Yeah, they are the same. I can't remember the number though. There is a Brute Force one available at the parts store for not too much money. They are more for off roading, but they are retarded strong.

Unless you're running an Aerostar DS. Those aren't the same.

That looks like the correct number and the joint looks right in the picture too. I've done those before. They always make me swear when I do them.
